Petition details

We, The Friends of Granton Castle Walled Garden are intent on saving the B-listed walled garden from certain destruction.
We believe that the rare historical land use, social and environmental value of the garden is unique in Edinburgh, and should be opened up for sustainable uses which will benefit the well-being of the local and wider community.
We therefore ask that the City of Edinburgh Council support us in our aims to ensure that the once pristine medieval walled garden is protected, accessible & well maintained so that the heritage environment is preserved for future generations.
